There is a project of the source package needs to compare, 400M above, this will find a good tool. If a single file can be used Vimdiff ', the code is highlighted, very good, for such a large package, it seems to be inadequate. Looked up several tools, improvised contrast.

• Beyond Compare,
  Shareware, 30-day free trial, powerful.
• Compare Suite,
  This is a business suite, a variety of comparisons, including pictures, Pdf,word, etc. can be multi-faceted comparisons, and beyond has a spell, he has three levels, lightweight (light), Standard, Professional Edition (PRO), Compare Suite Light is free , but this is enough for us to compare only to the plain text file. This is honorable and free to meet the needs of most people, while special services are available for individual users, with special charges. Support. There's a Linux version. The code is not highlighted.
  Free version of: Http://www.freefilecompare.com/download
• Winmerge,
  Open source, free, but only available in Windows. A good comparison tool for text documents, you can highlight the code. Also, when opening a folder, be careful whether you want to check the option of recursively comparing subfolders. Use the (Tree-mode) tree mode to navigate while you are comparing, and open the location panel, or it's awkward.

• KDIFF3,
  A project of QT, open source free, cross-platform. Functions and Winmerge are similar, while support and CVS, as well as IBM ClearCase, are very good and powerful. Support.
  Official address: http://kdiff3.sourceforge.net/

I chose the cross-platform KDIFF3.
